Week 5

Money in the Bank [0-4] vs Brit Pool [1-3]
Being respectful, nice and every ones fan favourite sure is paying off for Rich & company. It seems lately MIB have had quite a few new comers, that could very well be the one to push MIB over the edge and start picking up some W's. Adam is the most notable one as when he is on his game, he is one of the best in the game, and now with Stevon & his followers coming here, Rich will have their support until they leave in a month. Many, many months you could have thought were the last ones for Drew & BP but they never left, and here they are. After a close lose to UO this past week, Trey will look for his guys to bounce back and slowly start to move up the standings. BP have the talent to make the playoffs, but maybe they're just waiting to make another UIC-like miracle run.

Prediction - 3-2 BP

Extreme Pool Competitors [3-1] vs Straight Shots [2-2]
Jack & company are flying high after dethroning the first place team this past week 3-2, and will now try and defeat a team everyone predicted to be at the top. Jack hasn't had the best of starts individually but his team has been able to carry the load and lead EPC to a top place tie. With everything that has gone on in the UIC shout box, I feel its necessary to compliment Kev on his first win in 3 tries here in GIT. He is a beast, that is clearly tamed. It was SS's first real win of the season this past week as they defeated MIB 4-1, and I know Nigel has told me that GIT isn't his #1 priority, but c'mon, this is SS! Nish has gotten off to a poor start as well, but once these players get back into their consistent methods, SS should be competing for a playoff spot down the road.

Prediction - 3-2 EPC

Freedom [3-1] vs Magic Pool [3-1]
Coming off what I believe is their best win this season, Freedom seem to be the best team in GIT, and if they can produce this week, then they're for real. With a team that highly resembles their top notch IPA team, its no wonder they are at the top. Everyone from top to bottom in their roster has been producing, and the ones with the lesser records seem to be the most dangerous ones on the team. With so much fire power, will MP's quiet arsenal be able to compete? MP have a solid team with the likes of Ian, Steve, Chris, DD, Sid, Andy & Joe, but with Pete being the one to match everyone up, Chris will need his boys to step it up if they look to stay atop the standings and avoid losing 2 straight.

Prediction - 3-2 Freedom

Ultimate Outlaws [2-2] vs Sexy Poolerz [2-2]
Who cares how they did last week, that's the past, and UO needs to look forward. Stevon & company strike again and have left UO, disrupting a few feathers along the way, leaving Rebs to take a step back and really ponder what she's been left with. On one side, you can look at everyone who's leaving and the numbers they've put up in GIT, and well, not much of a loss there. On the flip side though, shes losing numbers, can you really take quality of quantity if you cant field a team of 5? Rebs has fight and I do believe she'll still be able to show with a solid 5 and do even better. Ebs has been their best player thus far and will need to continue to produce if UO look to stay in the midst of the playoff race. SP were able to show that they are one of the better teams in GIT, taking Freedom to the limits and losing in a close one. As long as their heads are on right, Pete & company should be able to take advantage of UO's organizational troubles and get an easy win.

Prediction - 4-1 SP
